(Paragraph one)
A - In Lowry’s novel The Giver, Jonas, the protagonist, changed because he wanted to leave his community.
B- In the novel The Giver, Jonas’s community would be described as “strictly” powered because of so many rules that the government came up with. Some of the rules are: taking pills to not have emotions, killing of infants and elderly, not being able to see “natural” colors.(paragraph 1)
